Proposed Projects: Native Employment Works (NEW) Program Plan
Guidance and Native Employment Works (NEW) Program Report.
Title: Native Employment Works (NEW) Program Plan Guidance and
Report Requirements.
OMB No.: 0970-0174.
Description: The Native Employment Works (NEW) program plan is the
application for NEW program funding. As approved by the Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS), it documents how the grantee will
carry out its NEW program. The NEW program plan guidance provides
instructions for preparing a NEW program plan and explains the process
for plan submission every third year. There are two versions of this
plan guidance: One for tribes that include their NEW program in a
Public Law 102-477 project, and one for tribes that do not. The primary
difference between the guidance documents is in the instructions for
how to submit the plan. The NEW program report provides information on
the activities and accomplishments of grantees' NEW programs. The NEW
program report and instructions specify the program data that NEW
grantees report annually.
Respondents: Federally recognized Indian Tribes and Tribal
organizations that are NEW program grantees.

\1\ We estimate that 45 of the 78 NEW grantees will not include their NEW programs in P.L. 102-477 projects. 48
grantees divided by 3 (because grantees submit the NEW plan once every 3 years) = 15.
\2\ We estimate that 33 of the 78 NEW grantees will include their NEW programs in P.L. 102-77 projects. 31
grantees divided by 3 (because grantees submit the NEW plan once every 3 years) = 11.
\3\ We estimate that 45 of the 78 NEW grantees will not include their NEW programs in P.L. 102-477 projects and
therefore will submit the NEW program report to HHS.
